One of my favorite Sowell quotes gets to the heart of economics. “There are no solutions, only trade-offs,” he once said in an interview.
These trade-offs are becoming abundantly clear to all of us during the pandemic response. For example, in imposing orders meant to “save just one life” from COVID-19’s worst effects, policymakers have sacrificed other lives—including, tragically, the lives of young people who are at the least risk from the coronavirus.

CSM Charles Hayden Passed 7/29/2025
LTC Stephen F. Professor Sowell must be chagrined that his research and conclusions have been ignored by the, ‘we will do gooders’. I understand his conclusions regarding education and minimum wages are that the ‘politicians and so-called leaders’ of the Black community desire victims rather than successes.
